This is a drop in performing arts program for children, ages 7 - 15, held in the Center Recital Hall.

Under the direction of our outreach coordinator, Chantell Love, this engaging Saturday program will include drop in classes for various forms of dance as well as step and yoga. There will also be fun fitness activities for the children. This is a free drop in program.

Parents / Guardians are required to stay at the Center while their child participates. It is first come, first serve and once the drop in spots fill up that class is full.

Plan now to enjoy the arts at the center with your child.

Chantelle Love, Professional Dancer and Cheerleader

I am originally from Columbia, MD and my love for performing started at a young age. Unlike a lot of my fellow sisters on the team I was a rambunctious tomboy and played basketball most of my early years, but I always loved performing and dancing so I started taking dance classes here and there. By high school I really started to get into cheer and dance and I was a cheerleader for four years, serving as captain for two and was also a part of our school dance company for three years.

While attending college in the Nation's Capital my love for the Burgundy and Gold began to grow and now will forever be a part of me. I received my B.S. in Health Science from the illustrious Howard University and had the honor of cheering on our Bison for three years – HHHUUUU! I enjoy helping people.

My journey has been nothing short of amazing and after cheering one year with the Baltimore Blast Cheerleaders fulfilling my aspirations as a 1st Lady of Football has been such a wonderful experience. The unforgettable memories and opportunities, being able to share this with so many amazing friends that have the same dream, giving back to the community, the amazing friendships and the impactful influence of being a part of something that is so much bigger than me is greater than I have ever imagined.
